Case Management, Children and Adolescents

New River Valley Community Services provides Case Management assists children and adolescents, ages birth to 21, and sometimes beyond, and their families in finding medical, psychiatric, social, educational and other services which are needed for the child to thrive in the community. This program includes facilitation of the referral process, providing transportation to appointments and assistance serving as a liaison with school staff, physicians and other agencies.

Case management is provided to children with serious emotional disturbances by helping families access outpatient, intensive in-home treatment, and ongoing psychiatric and mediation services. Case management services for children with serious emotional disturbance are funded by Medicaid and FAMIS. Families can also pay for services using a sliding scale fee. The local Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) may sometimes assist families in paying for services.
